Bad News: Last Journalists in a Dictatorship by Anjan Sundaram
4.0
Since the book is written by a journalist the writing is to the point and brings across all the issues without getting too much into the authors emotions and personal struggles.
With nonfiction even sometimes it can be a bit personal and only about the author and how he experienced something , but rather than making it about his experience alone it really felt universal for the country Rwanda and the whole population there.
I think its fascinating to see how dictatorships work and what the consequences for the people are and also how other contries are complicit with the situation and even advancing it when they don't have other interests that would drive them to intervene or at least stop the funding.
It is difficult to imagine that this is real life for someone and being denied basic human rights is something I hopefully will never have to experience that way.
